I am a true Seattle local; growing up in my families Wallingford business Bedrooms & More. After graduating from the Lakeside School in Seattle, I attended the University of Washington, where I received a degree in interdisciplinary visual arts. After many years as an executive, product designer, and more within the family business, I attended Seattle University and received a Master’s in Business Administration.

Throughout the years, I have fallen in love with community engagement, support and advocacy. For nearly a decade I have been a board member on the Wallingford Parade (Celebrate Wallingford); the last 5 of which I have served as the president of that non-profit. Additionally, I have been serving on the Washington Retail Association Board. Because of my advocacy work, I was an NRF Retail Advocacy Award finalist in 2024.

More recently, I was tasked with the responsibility to resurrecting the long dormant Wallingford Chamber of Commerce. I have been thrilled by the enthusiasm of my fellow business owners in the community. We are going to do everything we can to ensure that our special piece of Seattle continues to thrive both socially and economically.
